Member Contributer Dutchy Posted February 10, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 10, 2020 134-139 at the back wheel. 2 sets of runs on different dynos on different days. Asked for a tune to improve pickup from lower revs, not out and out top BHP. At 280Kmh on GPS on the Autobahn I was scared enough PCV, BOS mufflers, K&N filters. Rest Oem. Was in the "donot need a PC camp" before, but boy was I wrong... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted February 17, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 17, 2020 Last weekend I flew to Italy with a bunch of like minded individuals (classic Italian iron). Here a "wee" impression... There was TONS more, but donot want to piss off the mods with too many pictures.... Good thing there were 2 guys who drove down in a van so our purchases could make it home economically.... All sorts of stuff for sale. Some for a buck, other for a bit more... GDC baby!!! Ohlins eat your heart out! Twin 2 stroke, bougth by a Dutch Aermachhi collector! He has an incomplete one (with a 3 speed gearbox) and can finish it with this one (4 speed box) and other bits. I reckon only 150 of these were ever produced (and boy is it fugly....) ~Eur 35,000 Questionable... Found the Guzzi clocks for a pal Score! Could not not pick it up Of all places to find one... Take your pick! @skuuter time!! This a true Americano!!! This is a Honda forum.... €63,000 obo... Amongst a pile of shite... Asking too much, but rare to find. And there she was... Finding NOS big ends for pittance.... If you NEED one but cannot find it, having one made will cost you 10-fold... "Future Classics!!!!!"

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted February 18, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 18, 2020 More stuff for the 65yr old lady... My "Turismo" model came w/o a speedometer from the factory, so I should take it out and put this in place.... Makes passing inspection for road registration easier as well.... Prior to starting mc production in the 60's, Aprilia produced bicycles and mc accesories. So to be "period and model correct" for my 1954 bike, the chrome lens ring bears the brand "Aprilia" too and not "CEV"... 😉 Old skool 6V baby!

So assume a 6V DC dynamo 🙂 Are you going to use the old electro-mechanical voltage regulator or are you hiding a modern silicon based regulator inside an old housing? I have to admit I cheat - I don't like parking roadside with no more juice on the battery 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted February 18, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 18, 2020 I will start off with 6V on this engine yes. Mechanical voltage regulator. The headlight has a switch between generator and battery to bypass the battery should it go belly up The (race)engine that is currently in the frame has no generator and runs on a 12V battery and 12V coil. But lacks the kickstarter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a dc dynamo with electromechanical regulation 👍😊 On terminal 51 I assume you should have 6,5-7 volts DC (medium rpm and no lights on). I don’t know this system but would not suggest an additional USB charger 😆. I think power is 30 Watts. Rectification is purely mechanical (no diode or other fancy electronics) - the commutator "turn" direction of current. The regulator must be in the hole to the left - includes electromagnets and its own contact point. These systems can be tough on batteries and bulbs as voltage varying widely. A modern regulator makes a hell of a difference and makes a 6 volt system perform fantastic. Of course you still have ignition contact point and mechanical advancer... 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the old bike have let you down and left you on the shoulder for a couple of times, you retreat to the study and get wiser 🙂 Shout if you want a couple of links / information about 1) mechanical rectifying, 2) electromechanical voltage regulation / alternatives and 3) "budget constraints" workarounds. Voltage regulator for Gilera Sport (6 volt DC). Very condensed checklist: File / clean contacts INSIDE regulator before first start - check voltage before after engine start (at medium rpm voltage higher than battery voltage tho never higher than 7.2 volts).
